Defining a Record Pointer Field Type

Database | Structure | Manage Base Field Types | Define New Field

When creating the field type, set the Data Type to 'Record Pointer'.

Next you can define the set of record types to which this record pointer can point by clicking Select Record Types.

Note. If you don't select a particular record type to point to (e.g. in cases where you don't know in advance what type of record might be referenced), the pointer field will be 'unconstrained' or 'untyped', which means the user can select any record from the pointer field.

Select one or more target record types:

(See Find Records Dialog.)

When you have made your selection, click Insert Selected. The target record type(s) are shown in the Target record types field:

Note. To modify or clear the selection, click Select Record Types again, and make any changes.
